Is it better to go to Naxos or Paros?
Is it better to go to Naxos or Paros? Naxos is the agricultural heart of the Cyclades, known for its potatoes, cheeses, and meats. Paros has better nightlife (though not too wild) and feels a little trendier with more shopping and boutique hotels. Naxos has just a little nightlife but more historic churches and archaeological sites.
Why is Naxos so popular?
Because of its many plains and valleys, Naxos is famous since ancient times for being fertile and producing various agricultural products like olives, and high-quality wine. Furthermore, meat and cheese are exquisite! One thing is for sure: vacation there will be full of tastes and delicious meals.
Why is Naxos so cheap?
Since it's a large island, there is more hotel room inventory, which means that prices are driven down. Not only will you save money on hotel costs, prices for everything from restaurants to activities to renting a vehicle are much cheaper since Naxos is a less touristic island.
How many days in Naxos is enough?
Naxos is a large island with many sights, villages, and beaches. We recommend 3 to 5 days in Naxos to visit as many places as possible. Naxos is a multifaceted island, so you need days to understand it. You can also pay a visit to the musts that will last no more than 24 hours.
Should I spend longer in Naxos or Paros?
There is a lot to see and do on Paros but there is also a lot to see and do on Naxos! It is always a difficult question to answer and we love them both, a lot! If you have time I recommend you try and spent a bit of time on both. Our personal favourite is Paros but only by a small margin.
